Balsamic Pear Kefir Soda
This is a super fizzy soda! You'll love the unique taste of pears and all the extra bubbles. You can use either balsamic vinegar or my personal favorite balsamic glaze for this recipe! If you love pears, you've gotta try this one.

Instructions
- Add the Kefir Soda Starter packet OR kefir whey to your juice and stir till dissolved.
- Add your pear juice mixture and balsamic glaze to a 32-ounce bottle. Using a funnel helps. (Make sure you use bottles such as Grolsch or Bormioli thick glass bottles. Bottles bought at craft stores can explode.)
- Fill the rest of the bottle with water leaving an inch of room at the top.
- Allow it to ferment for 3-7 days or until bubbly and fizzy. If your home is 75°F or warmer it will usually take 3-4 days. Colder homes can take 5 days or longer, but you'll need to check it by popping the top and see if it's getting fizzy. It will start to bubble out the top if it does.
- When it's done, you can pour it into a glass and enjoy right away or place it in the fridge. It will continue to ferment in the fridge, so burp it daily and consume it within 1-2 weeks for the most benefits and the best flavor.
Re-Culturing From Your First Bottle
- You can use ½ cup of this finished kefir soda as a starter to make a new bottle. Add the other ingredients and ferment again. It should only take a half to a full day to ferment. It ferments faster on subsequent batches and you can make many bottles over and over again!
